Join us for the official kick-off to NYC Pride!
The Rally showcases well-known performers and motivating speakers to kick-off NYC Pride's official events. The first NYC Pride Rally occurred one month after the Stonewall Riots in June 1969, when 500 people gathered for a “Gay Power” demonstration in Washington Square Park, followed by a candlelight vigil in Sheridan Square.
NYC Pride continues the tradition of this event each year at various locations throughout the city. This year, the Rally will be held on Hudson River Park's Pier 26.

Rocking women’s worlds!
Who runs the world?! I think we all know the answer to that question...
Don't miss the only official women's event of NYC Pride! Rapture on the River is one of the nation's largest, longest-running dance events created just for the ladies. This year it's celebrating its tenth anniversary and moving back outside to Hudson River Park's Pier 26 in TriBeCa.
To celebrate the new outdoor venue, we're offering a special Ultra-Premium VIP package. You and up to 10 of your friends can enjoy a private cabana and bottle service. It's the ultimate way to enjoy Rapture.
The DJs
A brand new venue on the sparkling Hudson and high-end event packages aren't the only panache on the pier. The music will be unreal! A Miami favorite, DJ Dimples, will get the party started and our headliner, DJ Whitney Day, will be bringing down the house.
Get your tickets now and be sure you get to join 3,000 beautiful women at this legendary event!

The first March was held in 1970 and has since become an annual civil rights demonstration. Over the years its purpose has broadened to include recognition of the fight against AIDS and to remember those we have lost to illness, violence and neglect.
The March is a celebration of our lives and our community.

Come and dance into the night
NYC Pride is thrilled to have found a new home for its famous Dance on the Pier: Hudson River Park’s Pier 26 in TriBeCa. Dance on the Pier, now in its 27th year, will again serve as the official closing to NYC Pride's official events.
NYC Pride is very excited about the move back to an outdoor venue. While last year’s Dance and Rapture were a great success and Pier 57 a phenomenal host, producing the event indoors was a detour from tradition necessitated by the loss of Hudson River Park’s Pier 54. Dancing unabatedly in full view of this great city is something that many of the events’ attendees have come to love and expect.
The event will once again close with the world’s longest-running LGBT fireworks display along the Hudson.
The DJs
Co-headlining the Dance this year are award-winning DJs Dave Audé and Oscar G. The event will also feature an opening set from local rising star DJ Luis Perez. A variety of live performances will be announced leading up to the event date.
The Cause
All proceeds from the Dance on the Pier benefit New York City's Official Pride events and LGBT community organizations.
Be a part of NYC Pride's LARGEST annual fundraiser and celebrate this historic weekend among friends!
